Interplay of Homogeneous Reactions, Mass Transport, and Kinetics in Determining Selectivity of the Reduction of CO 2 on Gold Electrodes

Gold electrocatalysts have been a research focus due to their ability to reduce CO into CO, a feedstock for further conversion. Many methods have been employed to modulate CO reduction (CDR) vs hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) selectivity on gold electrodes such as nano-/mesostructuring and crystal faceting control. Herein we show that g...More
